Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune
#2 - Chapter 2 Talent
While chatting with Stone and thinking about his future plans, Cheng Feng still couldn't sort out his thoughts; it was just too difficult.
Cheng Feng didn't understand the world of adults in this era, but he could still guess a little. It was normal for people to look down on children's labor and feel they couldn't help much.
But that wasn't what Cheng Feng wanted, and he understood his family's situation very well: they were almost out of food.
The family originally had some savings, but after Cheng Feng's illness was treated, they had basically spent all their savings.
The efforts of his predecessor's father and eldest brother, and the warm greetings from his mother, had also touched Cheng Feng's heart in the past few days.
People aren't plants; how could they be without feelings?
That's why Cheng Feng wanted to urgently help this poor family.
A frayed rope breaks at the thinnest point; misfortune picks on the unfortunate.
Without the capital to guard against the future, even a small storm in life could crush this family, leaving it fragmented.
Not to mention that the original savings had been used up to save him.
Cheng Feng pondered that hunting yielded high returns, but he lacked the ability and it was dangerous. His small arms and legs couldn't run very fast, so he could only look to the fish swimming in the water. If he really couldn't catch fish by hand, then he would fish with a rod.
He didn't know if he could catch anything, but he had to try.
Using the process of elimination, Cheng Feng made a choice based on the current situation and his abilities.
Cheng Feng was grateful that in his previous life, he had watched many fishing videos, so he knew a lot, just hadn't practiced it. Well, now the opportunity to practice had come.
"Are you guys going to catch fish again this afternoon?" Cheng Feng asked.
Stone said, "Yes, we've already made plans with Sanwa and the others. We can't help much at home. It just so happens that there are many fish in the summer, so we'll see if we can catch a few more so the family can have some meat." As he spoke, he even sucked in his saliva.
"Okay, I'll go take a look this afternoon too. Maybe I can catch a couple," Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Second Brother, you can't go!" Stone said anxiously. "You're still not well. Mom said you have to rest well. If something happens to you, Mom will definitely beat me!"
"Don't worry about it. I'm already better. I should go out for a walk. I'll just watch, I won't go into the water," Cheng Feng reassured the third brother, feeling in his heart that the children of poor families matured early. The three brothers had a very good relationship.
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade his second brother, Stone could only agree, instructing his second brother to be careful.
After eating lunch at noon, he and the third brother called on a few friends, carrying buckets and running to the river.
Along the way, Cheng Feng was also observing this new environment. After resting for a few days, except for the food being a bit poor and his body being a little weak, he was basically fine.
The impressions in his memory were also being confirmed one by one. Gradually, Cheng Feng had a better understanding.
Along the way, the children were clamoring about who caught the most fish today. I said I was first, he said he was first, it was very lively.
Cheng Feng didn't take the children's bickering to heart. His heart was calm. He had already passed that age.
With a psychological age of over 20 and the social experience of his previous life, silence was a sign of maturity and stability.
The predecessor had also caught fish before, but without much success, and later gave up. When he got older, he started helping the family.
Now that he was going to experience it again, he had to learn from these little masters.
Slowly, he shifted the topic, subtly asking the little masters about the tricks of catching fish.
The half-grown children didn't have much guile, saying one thing here and another there. They quickly arrived at the river along the dirt road.
The river wasn't wide, and the central area was slightly dark, shimmering in the sunlight.
Watching the boys take off their clothes and go into the water to catch fish, he just told them to be careful.
He sat down by the willow tree near the river, watching the undulating surface of the river, lost in thought. He just watched and learned.
He thought that in a couple of days, he would go into the water himself to try. Maybe he could get a fishing rod to try then?
As the sun set, seeing that the playing children hadn't caught anything, Cheng Feng knew that it would be like this today.
Just as he was about to get up to call people, splashes of water rose from the surface of the river.
"We caught a big fish! We caught a big fish!" The children who were still resting by the river went into the water to help.
After a flurry of activity, Sanwa finally held it in his arms. A group of children surrounded him, afraid that the fish would run away, slowly moving it to the riverbank.
Cheng Feng looked and it was indeed not small, estimating it to be four or five pounds.
Seeing that he was far away from the river, Sanwa threw the fish on the ground and arrogantly said, "Hahaha, see, I told you I was first!" He looked like he wanted to be praised.
The other children either looked at the result with excitement, as if they had caught it themselves, or looked dim, having worked hard all day without any results.
Cheng Feng laughed in his heart at the lively scene. The children's expressions were written on their faces, so simple!
Cheng Feng looked back at the river, and a black shadow approached the riverbank, as if to see the excitement on the beach.
Looking closely, wasn't that another big black fish?
Without time to think, seeing the distance so close to the shore and no possibility of drowning,
Cheng Feng reached forward with both hands and plunged in. According to the principle of light refraction, he grabbed at the black shadow and felt a slippery object in his hand.
Now that I've got the fish, how can I let you run?
He firmly grasped the long object with both hands, quickly sticking his body forward, hugging it like Sanwa, and quickly walked towards the shore.
The fish in his arms was also restless, twisting left and right, trying to escape, but how could Cheng Feng let himself lose face?
After all, he was sixteen years old, just one year away from adulthood. He couldn't be worse than Sanwa, right?
With a force, he threw the fish in his arms into the air. The fish twisted its body in the air and landed on the ground. He shouted, "Stone, step on it!"
Stone was awakened by Cheng Feng's shout and said excitedly, "Second Brother, you're amazing!"
He took three steps in two, stepped on the fish's head, and Cheng Feng quickly ran to the tree, picked up the bucket, filled it with water, and put the fish in.
Looking at it, it was bigger than the fish caught by Sanwa, about seven pounds.
A fish of this size would fetch a good price even if it was sold.
Stone looked at the big fish happily, wailing with joy.
The group of children surrounding Sanwa silently looked at Sanwa with smiles on their faces.
He had just said he was first, but he was slapped in the face so quickly.
Sanwa couldn't hold his face, but he also said sourly and unwillingly, "Second Brother Cheng, you are first today."
It was almost time, and if they returned later, they would be beaten by their families.
However, looking at the pitiful Sanwa, who had lost his arrogant arrogance, Cheng Feng would not jokingly compete with the child for first place, comforting him, "I didn't participate in your competition, what are you comparing with me?"
Sanwa thought about it, Cheng Feng really didn't say he was participating in the competition from the beginning to the present, and said to himself, "That's right, Second Brother Cheng didn't say he was participating, then I'm still first, hee hee."
Looking at Sanwa who was happy with himself, Cheng Feng also found it funny. He was indeed a child.
Suppressing the third brother who was about to say a few words, "Okay, let's go back quickly, we'll all be scolded if we're late."
Sure enough, upon hearing the word 'scolded', the half-grown boys scattered in a rush, quickly picking up their own buckets to fetch water, and wringing out their clothes.
Cheng Feng also wrung out his wet clothes, got up and walked back.
As the sun set, he looked at the smoke curling from the chimneys at the entrance of his home.
Stone couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, come and see, we've got a catch! Such a big fish!"
Cheng's parents and eldest brother, who had not been back for long, also smiled as they looked at the fish in the bucket, estimating its weight.
Cheng Feng looked at this scene with a smile, and also curiously looked at the light blue that appeared when the fishing was successful, appearing in the air on the panel.
Recalling the way his family members were oblivious to it when he came home and now, Cheng Feng thought to himself: Others can't see it.
